Everyone should see this documentary, it should be mandatory viewing. Better yet, if you have a chance to see Donna Beegle speak, run, don't walk, to her presentation.

We are a disgusting country when it comes to caring about the wellbeing of our own. Just ask the assholes who will take their golden parachute bonuses following this abomination of a bail-out. They could care less about hungry Americans. So long as they can buy Muffy that yacht for Christmas, it's all good. God bless America? Yeah, sure, tell it to the poor.

Undergroundpanther, your words are truth, and yet they don't even begin to scratch the surface. I could write a book about the laws that are written to penalize the poor in this country: You say you need to get to work at your minimum-wage job, and that you can either afford to feed your kids or provide auto insurance? Tough luck, America does not care. It's against the law to drive without auto insurance, and we'll arrest you and give you a criminal record if you're caught driving to work without it.

Disgusting.

Bless you for providing shelter and comfort to a fellow human being.
